Also called currency trading, FX trading, Foreign Exchange trading and forex currency trading, forex trading is biggest global financial investment market. As forex trading involves purchasing specific currency and selling another currency simultaneously, it is far bigger than the stock and commodity markets. The capital changes hands electronically and the daily transactions that take place here are about $1.5 trillion on an average.

In the present scenario, European currency (EUR), the Australian dollar (AUD) and the British pound (GBP) are stronger than the US dollar (USD).

When you know that the risk of loss of capital is minimized, you can be slightly more aggressive. One more reason for the popularity of forex trading is the lower trading costs. Commissions are not charged generally and the compensation is generally given by the pip spread. E.g., a EUR/USD pip spread might be 3 pips or $10 per piece. You are leveraging $100,000 of EUR/USD and the total cost of transaction is $30 or 3 pips. There is actually a reduced risk of capital loss if the trading is disallowed if the forex account balance goes below the necessary margin limit. Currency positions are automatically settled prior to account falling into negative balance.
